Her Blood Tears

Bat

Rhys's POV

I was sitting at the table until Eleora grabbed my arm and pulled me to the kitchen. I knew she was beyond upset with me. She had a anger written all over her face. "This is your fault" she hissed at me. I looked at her very confused.

"The elders are looking for our human capsule. Why couldn't we just get Fern" she said as her fangs were showing. She was hissing like a viper. I have never seen her this upset. "I love her" I said making sure I defend Fern. Eleora looked at me and went quiet.

Her fangs were gone. "What" she said with soft eyes. "I fell in love with her" I said as I looked into her eyes. "You are not in love with Clove anymore" she asked me. I nodded my head and I look at the floor. For so many years I thought Clove was going to return to me. Instead I fell for Fern.

The one I needed all along. She hasn't seen me as a monster. I haven't eaten blood around her because she is a vegan. I take her boundaries more personal. If she doesn't like something at all I will never bring it up to her. I never once joked about eating animals or about the foods she eats.

I know how much stuff means to her. This is why I won't disappoint her again. She lost the only person she has waiting at home for her. Fern did always feel alone. I'm just upset because Annabel took that away from her. I brought this upon her.

"Brother you may have made a mistake" said Eleora. I looked at her unsure of what to say. "They will go after her at all costs just to make Alieen feel better" she said to me. "Why can't go for anyone else" I told her with a dead stare. I watched as she rolled her eyes at me. "A new bloodline" she said in a duh tone.

"You know how this works. We don't have any power to compel anyone. We aren't like the movies. We can't shape shift and we don't have telekinesis" said Eleora. I looked at her knowing what she was getting at. "New bloods make us stronger" she said.

I nodded my head knowing that this talk will never get old. "Either way we can't pretend that you found a person who has moved here. She has different blood" said Eleora as she turned and walked away from me. I signed knowing she wouldn't except it.

She was happy for me but she knew if this were to go on there would be no chance of Fern's survival. I can't risk her life. I watched as Eleora walked down the hallway. If only I knew how to protect Fern. I didn't even know what she is doing now.

Fern's POV

I was laying on my bed feeling all alone. My parents were both at work. I made sure to be careful. Gideon can still come after me. I was so scared that he will try to kidnap me. I haven't seen Rhys in two days. It's not like him. He even tells me when he goes hunting. I'm becoming more worried.

This morning I was stress eating oats with bananas, blueberries, and dark chocolate. I was a mess because a tree was scratching against the house because of the wind. It was in the middle of the night. I was so scared this morning.

My stress eating is so bad. It was barely brunch and I was hungry. I felt like I had to stuff my face to feel calm. I had made me tofu scrambled with mushrooms, avocado, and toast. It was delicious but I was so scared of what will happen to Rhys.

I have laid against the window seat for so long. The gloomy sky and rain was so unreal. I fogged up the window just by breathing on it. The wind kept taking all the leaves away. The trees in the distance were waving at me. I was so bored from waiting.

I started to make flower arrangements. I picked the flowers from yesterday and I cut off the needles from the roses. I cut the bottom of the stems so they can be put into a vase. I was decorating them in color and even alphabetical order. I had so much time on my hands. This was calming me down more.

Nature really is so beautiful. I liked to work here as the time passed. I did everything else that I can. Before Daisy and Alieen last hanged out with me Daisy had made me flower heels. I loved them so much. They are one of the biggest trends now.

She thought it was a statement for me to be wearing them. I had to thank her somehow. Daisy had a gorgeous personality. Alieen was really sick. I heard that she was coughing up blood. That's her main food source. I felt so bad for not being able to be with her during her time of need.

I think we both needed fresh air. I was in house arrest and she was sick. We both need to be happy and healthy. I just needed to be safe and Alieen needed to get better soon. I missed her so much. I want to hangout with her again.

I missed my best friend. She would tell me all about her new books. We both got along with each other more than everyone else. She thinks nature is so beautiful. The only thing she likes more than me is history. Alieen loves to go to museums all the time.

Her and Talon are so cute together. She finds him to be the best. She also finds Daisy to be the best little sister ever too. I'm just happy to be her best friend. I have been great full to have new friends too. I just want to hangout in the library with her again.
